first of all, thanks a lot for the great ht://Dig package. I have never used
it on Unix but after reading the documentation at htdig.sdsu.edu I was sure
that it would fulfill a need that I have since I have setup web servers on
our local HP 3000 systems here.

The desire was strong enough that I took the time to pick up the source
and port it to MPE/iX, the (proprietary) OS of the HP 3000 (which are
hardware brethren of the HP 9000 Unix systems).

While MPE/iX is a "legacy" operating system (not just another Unix)
with a 25 year history, it has Posix interfaces for a few years now and
also a ported version of the GNU C/C++ compiler. So I did not have to
change a single line of source code (just a small number of adjustments
in configure scripts and Makefile templates) to make a first version run
successfully.
